Food for I.ittle FoIks.

In the midst of an elaborate spread of ex- cellent recipes for ingenious and toothsome, if sometimes rather indigestible dishes, do we consider as we should the need of the chil- dren for simple, wholesome and nourishihg mealsa
 Children do not require, nor should they have, pickles or salads that the torpid ivers and abused stomachs of older people crave. Neither should little folks be compelled or even coaxed to eat hearty food when disin cfined. But certainly no wise parent will permit child to gorge itself with rich and useless desserts, candies, or cookies between meals when unable or unwilling to partake of bloodmaking, tissue building, muscle de veloping material. And thus it behooves u. to concoct all the schemes possible to temp, by perfectly natural means the weak and wayward, as well as to control the riotou. appetites.-Good Housekeeping.

Sauce for Batter Cakes.

"I've found a new use for lemons" said a marketman the other day to reporter, "and got the suggestion from some German friends of mine. A German breakfast or luncheon often consists of coffee and 'pfanne- kuchen'-the latter means pancakes. The cook makes wheat batter rich with milk and eggs, and cooks the cakes in boiling lard Then they are served hot with powdered sugar and plenty of fresh lemon juice. The acid, it is thought, offsets the possible indi- gestibility of the grease. It is not uncommon for Americans who have got the tip from restaurants here or abroad to adopt the idea for buckwheats. It is certainly an improve ment, while it takes away the dead sweet of molasses or syrup."-New York Tribune

Odious Comparisons.

1T imagine that American girls think more of their dress than our own do, but they make the fatal mistake of dressing up.' mean that they are dowdies at one time and elaborately gotten up at others. They do not show so we'll at breakfast, for instance, as an English girl does. There is a certain want of finish about the coiffure-and, indeed, the general outline of their figure. A really pretty English girl never looks more charm ing than when she appears in the morning, fresh from the toilet. Her American cousin is limp at breakfast, and imparts no idea of freshness to the beholder. But then, when she Is attired for the promenade she is smart CT and better thought out than any of us as 0 rule"

Method of Removing Grease.

A novel method of removing grease from cloth, woolen or silk goods, and especially applicable to goods of delicate texture where the color is easily injured, is the use of potato water. Crate the potatoes to a pulp and add water to the amount of a pint to pound. Let it stand, and when clear pour off all but the potato sediment at the bottom. This is your cleaning mixture, to be applied with a clean linen rag, and followed by the use of a small amount of spirits of wine. tried it on very delicate shade of blue silk, removing every trace of grease without injuring the color in tke least.- Atlanta Constitution.

The American Girl.

= The American girl is cleverly pictured by Habberton in O new novel: "She was the oldest child, so she had her own way; she was pretty, so she had always been petted she was 20, so she knew everything that she thought worth knowing. She had long be fore reconstructed the world Gin her ow mind just as it should be, from the standing that it ought to exist solely for her benefit Not bad tempered, on theacontrary, cheerful and full of high spirits, she was nevertheless: in perpetual protest against everything that was not exactly as she would have it, and not all the manners that careful breeding could impart could restrain the unconscious inso lence peculiar to young and self satisfied ma. lures. ."-Exchange

CHAPTER XIV.
 HUNTED IN THE WOODS BY DOGS AND MEN.
 Dispersed in the woods with no knowl- edge of the country, and no guide toward our own lines; with the alarm spreading in every direction, and the hearts of the people on fire with fierce resentment be- cause of the desperate character of our raid, the prospect of escape for any of our number was slight indeed. The south was also better prepared for hunting down fugitives than any other people could have been where slavery was not an established institution. Tracking men over hills and mountains was no novelty; and now for scores of miles in every di- rection from Chattanooga roads and fer ries were guarded, cavalry galloped along the roads, and the planters with their packs of negro hunting dogs explored every wood. Unfortunately, too, ready mode of identifying any member of the band who might be captured was soon discovered. On the way south we had represented ourselves as from Fleming county, Ky. This story was still con- tinued. The first arrests were made the very same day so close to the train that after this story had been told the men were positively traced back to the train, and then all who gave the same story were known to belong to us.
 We expected to die as soon as captured; and there was a degree of exasperation which rendered the risk of instant shoot ing or hanging very great. But there was also a desire for further investigation and discovery which would be cut short by a sudden staying of the victim, and this operated to bridge over the first furious moment of capture, but did not prevent the most fearful threats, and in one case that of Parrott-a fearful beating. It also led to rigor of chaining and confine- ment almost unparalleled.
 We can only give the very briefest ac- count of these painful incidents, and will gladly hasten to other things.

Cure for a Eelou,

Felons can easily be cured in the first stage by the local use of ice water. Of course after suppuration has commenced, that is to say when matter has formed, it will fail. The finger should be held in ice water as long as it can be borne. After rest it should be re- turned to the water again. This process may be kept up for half a day if necessary.- Herald of Health.

Boxing Children's Ears.

All babydom is under great obligations to Dr. Sexton, a well known aurist of this city, for recording and publishing the particulars of over fifty cases of ear disease resulting from blow of the hand, either open or ,clenched. The effects of great concussions, as those of explosions, upon the ear are popu- larly recognized. But it is not generally known how small a concussion may result in damage to or disease of the ear, with the chance of subsequent deafness.
 This number of cases in the experience of one practitioner shows that such results are not so very rare. It is worthy of the con- sideration of those thoughtless people who, for punishment or sport, box children's ears. If parent believes ill the necessity of cor poral punishment, there are plenty of places upon the body where it may be applied with equal corrective effects and with little danger of remote physical damage. Boxing of the ears should not be indulged in even in play, for one cannot gauge the effect of the con- cussion. Another aurist in this city has pub lished case of deafness resulting from an unexpected kiss upon the ear, the person giv- ing it coming up from behind the receiver. The force in this case must have been much less than that of playful blow.-Babyhood.

How Women Rest.

How differently men and women indulge themselves in what is called resting spell.
 "I guess I'll sit down and mend these stock ings and rest awhile" says the wife, but her husband throws himself upon the easy lounge or sits back in his armchair, with hands at rest and feet placed horizontally upon another chair. The result is that his whole body gains full benefit of the half hour he allows himself from work, and the wife only re ceives that indirect help which comes from change of occupation. A physician would tell her that taking even ten minutes rest in a horizontal position, as O change from standing or sitting at work, would prove more beneficial to her than any of her make shifts at resting. Busy women have habit of keeping on their feet just as long as they can i'm s1,ita nf hackaches and warning pains
 As they grow older they see the folly of per mitting such drafts upon their strength, and learn to take things easier, let what will happen. They say: ''I used to think must do thus and so, but I've grown wiser and learned to slight things" The first years of housekeeping are truly the hardest, for un- tried and unfamiliar cares are almost daily thrust upon the mother and home maker.- New England Farmer.
